I've decided that if the OL keeps the pocket clean for the first few drives, #4 will play well enough for us to win. If it's clear that he'll be pressured throughout the game, then he'll play like he did against the UT's.
Milroe's accuracy
- Thread starter louf
- Start date
This is 100% right. JM just is not in sync with the plays at all. It's always been that way except every once and a while he gets lucky
That's it exactly.....yes.
It is what it is. I lost confidence last year and I feel every game is a 50 - 50 proposition. The D is young and a work in progress. The O stagnant. I wish could say the O was progressing.
We have to as they will not bench him. Fly on the wall to see practices. I was really frustrated last week when he just sat on the sidelines and didnt review the previous series of downs. Its like he didnt care.
I’m just happy we won. The defense played well. We have a bye week. Hopefully we can improve. Trying not to be insufferable. Pulling for the guy that two coaching staffs has picked to be the starter. Hoping that JM hasn’t “destroyed” the program. Longing for the day that this forum wouldn’t allow bashing of players. As an admin said recently, recruits actually read this stuff. My niece, who’s going to sign her NLOI, had reservations about it due to the geniuses that dogged the coach she’s coming to play for. Will continue, like I’ve always said, to support those players and coaches that represent the University.
Hopefully he will finish the season strong. Good for the team and fans. Good for him as he likely gets drafted in first 3 rounds. And then we can develop the kind of QB that this coach wants to run his offense. Everyone wins.
Wow. Weird. Thought we shut out a ranked opponent and won by 30+
There's no "bashing" going on. We have never prohibited the legitimate criticism of players while I've been the admin, which is a couple of decades. I deleted a couple of posts which used terms like "sucked," which is what "bashing" is. We cannot become just a cheerleading forum. This forum is for serious discussion and there has been much valid discussion of his play, but no "bashing." You need to adjust your definition of "bashing," or look at some other forums, if you think the criticism here is harsh...
He was 16 of 26 today. 61.5%. Lower than his overall. 215 yards . 8.3 yd ave. He’s the first Bama quarterback in history to have 25 passing and 25 rushing touchdowns.
Nobody wants to hear facts.
They'll tolerate him at 75 percent completion, 5 TD's and no picks per game.
Anything less and they lose their minds. No conspiracy theory is off the table for them.
Never fails. After a win the fan boys come out and trumpet the praise.
I’d take him at not missing fifty percent of the wide open receivers.
I’d take forty percent of his throws mechanically sound.
I’d take him climbing the pocket on forty percent of his throws.
If you can’t see the glaring weaknesses in his game, you’re being willfully ignorant at this point.
Yet he still missed wide open receivers, again. I am not saying he isnt a good player, I am just wondering what has happened with him.
Don’t think you’re following what I’m saying. It’s not about any individual plays. It’s about his confidence that the OL can protect him throughout a game. It seems to get in his head in certain games to the point that even when the OL keeps the pocket clean, he still misfires.
Zero question Milroe missed a LOT of passes today. From the stands, on one long scramble he looked to have a TD if he threw it instead of running. Seeing those WRs WIDE OPEN play after play but not getting throws (inaccurate or not at all) is depressing.
Overall Bama looked better for the most part (def in the second half), but unless / until JM hits those wide-open throws with catchable balls, Bama's ceiling is limited.
It is what it is.
